Eagle-Eye 9-1 had activated the Outpost Cannon Array and punched in the coordinates for the Remnant Fleet's HQ. "Initiating targeting systems. Coordinates 597.916. Planetary designation: Taytera."
"Install the energy injectors." Spyglass ordered.
The eight injectors were installed into the Outpost Cannon Array's power grid. "Power output increased to 900%. Targeting Remnant Fleet defenses. Coordinates locked. Firing Outpost Cannon Array." From the Outposts on Odra-9 came a colossal maelstrom of energy beams.
"We should get over there as soon as possible." Michael stated.
Eagle-Eye 9-1 departed from Odra-9 before the beams even reached their target.

Coming out of a jump, Eagle-Eye 9-1 arrived just in time to see the Remnant Fleet defenses unfold and aim down on them, then get destroyed by a massive load of destructive lasers. "Looks like we just beat our own attack." Michael remarked. "Let's do this!"

Titanfall - OST 01
The squadron landed near a dome. It had a solid base around its rim and the dome's shield consisted of hexagon-shaped energy plates. All around them was a barren wasteland. "The atmosphere is void of oxygen, but there is an overabundance of carbon dioxide. Pilots, pressurize your helmets. Samus, engage your Power Suit." Spyglass ordered.
With the Pilots ready, Eagle-Eye 9-1 disembarked and approached the dome.
"I don't know if we're gonna be able to get through this." Michael worried.
"According to our scans, the Remnant Fleet HQ has no defenses on the planet itself." Spyglass stated.
"My Scan Visor's giving me the same thing."
"Yo, Princess. What about your X-ray Visor?" Samus's visor went from a light blue to a strange shade of white.
"There's hundreds of them in there! A lot of them are above the ground and in a sitting position."
"They're in Titans." Seeing that the rest of the dome was transparent, Michael had an idea. "ZJ, gimme a lift."
"[I get what you're going for. Hop in.]"
Music
Titanfall 2 - A Glitch in the Frontier
Michael jumped into his Northstar's open cockpit, engaging Pilot-Mode. "[Airborne systems are in your control, Pilot.]" Michael flew up, with the lighter atmosphere making it easier to hover. He looked through the glass, seeing a whole army of Remnant Fleet Titans.
In the back were a few strangely modified Titans. Pilotless ones.
Michael then spotted a generator. The dome was an energy shield.
He dropped back down and disembarked. He had a plan. "OK. The Remnant Fleet HQ is basically a facility surrounded by an energy shield. We need to get rid of the generator. It's in the eastern corner."
"[I've completed an analysis of the dome's outer hull structure. Looks like it's made of nano-reinforced platinum and titanium. Oh, hello there. I think I found a vein of magnesium for the emergency self-destruct.]" Jeeves was right.
"[Magnesium? That's a combustible mineral. We just need to expose it, then I can handle what happens next.]" PYR-8638 stated, readying his T-203 Thermite Launcher.
"I've found a weak point in the side of it. Over here." Samus aimed her arm cannon at a section of the armored foundation of the Remnant Fleet HQ, charging up and launching a Super Missile.
The impact blasted through, exposing some shiny grey material within the darker alloy. "[Alright. Time to burn a hole through this!]" PYR-8638 said.
"[You're not actually 'burning' a hole through the wall. More like blasting it.]"
"[DL, old world bombs have fuses that need to be lit for detonation, right?]"
"[Yeah?]"
"[I'm lighting the fuse on this one.]"
"[I revoke my earlier statement.]"
"[Open sesame!]" With a press of the trigger, PYR-8638 blasted the magnesium vein with the T-203 Thermite Launcher, causing it to explode, destroying a significant chunk of the wall, and covering his front with powdery debris. A huge gust of air came storming out, the higher pressure of the atmosphere flooding out with it. The hole in the wall was just big enough for a Pilot to crawl through, and more magnesium veins were revealed. "[Viola. It is open.]" Eagle-Eye 9-1 stayed out of sight while Michael went in cloaked.

Code Lyoko - Sneaking
"[Your best bet is to head to the shield generator and shut it down, then the IMC fleet can provide support fire. I've marked your HUD. If your Cloak is about to run out, find a place to hide until it recharges.]"
"Solid copy, ZJ." The Pilot looked around, seeing that the hole led into a storage warehouse full of weapons. Assault rifles, submachine guns, light machine guns, sniper rifles, shotguns, grenadiers, pistols, Anti-Titans, the Remnant Fleet was stocked with it all. "I don't know if anyone's coming or nearby. EM, a pulse?"
"[Can't. The Remnant Fleet will pick it up.]"
"You're clear."
"How do you know, Spyglass?"
"Active Radar Pulse. G1 Pilot environmental scanner. Undetectable."
Michael quietly opened the door and headed out, closing it before heading closer to the generator. His Cloak was running out, so he had to find a place to hide.
To his left, two Remnant Fleet Reapers.
To his right and around a corner, old and empty cargo boxes. A place to hide. Michael rushed around the corner and hid under one of the dusty crates, which had been left on its side. Once he was hidden, his Cloak ran out, rendering him visible. Just a little bit of waiting aaaaaaand... ~beep~ Cloak recharged.
Michael climbed back out of the cargo crate and reactivated his Cloak, going invisible. Remnant Fleet Spectres were patrolling the outskirts. Michael disengaged his Wi-Fi Virus transmitter to sneak past them without drawing any attention.
The shield generator was within reach, but it was guarded by several Stalkers. He needed to draw them away. Picking up a nearby rock, Michael aimed to throw it and distract the Stalkers, but his Cloak started running out before he could throw the rock. There was an old shed nearby, so he hid there.
While hidden, Michael looked through the old dusty windows. They were too filthy for the Stalkers to see him through, but he could see them.
With the Cloak eventually recharged, Michael went back out and threw the rock. Just as predicted, the Stalkers turned and headed over to the rock. Surprisingly dumber than Reapers.
While the Stalkers were heading off to investigate the origin of the sound, Michael quickly made his way to the generator, finding the control panel. He pulled out his Data-Knife and started hacking into the shield generator, then shutting it down. The dome's shield started dissipating and vanishing, piece by piece, until the Remnant Fleet HQ was completely exposed, also causing all the oxygen kept inside to get vacuumed into the rest of the planet's atmosphere.

Titanfall 2 - Ark Pursuit
"I've disabled the shield generator! The Remnant Fleet HQ is open to attack! IMC fleet, weapons free! FIRE!"
"But you're still inside!" Rebuked a Pilot over the comms.
"I'll manage. Don't worry." Reactivating his Wi-Fi Virus transmitter, Michael ran back the way he came, encountering the same Spectre squad from before, and gaining some new metal allies.
Upon reaching the hole in the weapon warehouse, Michael was surprised to see it much bigger. On the other side was Sid, holding his XO-16 Chaingun in a battle-ready stance. "[It's time to finish this.]"

Barrens
Michael jumped up as Sid extended an arm for his Pilot to climb on before opening his cockpit. "[G1 Titan amplification enabled. XO-16 Chaingun damage increased against shields. Particle Wall deployment capacity increased. Cluster Missile flight stabilizers improved.]"
"Wait. What? You've been amped?"
"[I'm not the only one.]"
"[Railgun charge rate increased. Rocket Salvo payload increased. Our Vortex Shield will now auto-reflect incoming fire.]"
"[Our Quad Rocket will now fire cluster munitions. Our missile pod has increased ammunition. We can now deploy up to two Particle Walls at a time.]"
"Whoa. Nice. Let's see how well these new amplifications work in action."
A Remnant Fleet Legion with a red paint job stepped forth to oppose Michael as they approached. It spun up its Predator Cannon, deployed the Gun Shield, and opened fire.
Michael deployed a Particle Wall and opened fire with the XO-16, dealing as much damage to the protective barrier as a Monarch's Arc Rounds. With over a hundred electrified rounds, Michael eventually doomed the Legion, triggering a nuclear explosion.

Next up, Jeeves engaged a Remnant Fleet Tone-class Titan that had a green paint job and a modified Quad Rocket. The IMC Atlas-class Titan used the Vortex Shield to catch the missiles and send them back, launching rockets of his own as Michael pelted the green Tone with electrical bullets.
CZ-9247 [Amped Rocket Salvo] Mortar Titan
Vanessa was dealing with a blue Remnant Fleet Ronin that was surrounded in a field of electricity, disabling the field once the blue Ronin was doomed.

All was going well and the IMC was destroying the Remnant Fleet, until something happened.
Music
Titanfall 2 - The Battle of Typhon
A whole massive load of Legion-class Titans appeared and popped their Smart Cores, causing massive devastation. The IMC had seemingly lost their advantage as several Heavy Turrets unfolded and started tearing them apart.
When one of them slammed Sid in the side with the barrels of the Predator Cannon, ready to kill Michael, one Vanguard-class Titan could not stand for it.
"[No... I CAN'T allow this!]" DL-2671 rushed in front of the Remnant Fleet Legion and projected the Vortex Shield, catching the Power Shot and sending it right back at point blank range.

"[Michael, are you alright?]" DL-2671 asked.
"Yeah, I'm good."
"[THAT'S IT! I'M KILLING THEM MY WAY! GET OUT!]" Sid performed a Pilot-Mode override, opening his own cockpit, pulling Michael out, forcing DL-2671's hatch open, placing him inside the Vanguard's cockpit, and marching into battle like a Stalker.
"[Sid's a bit on the unstable side, isn't he?]"
"It scares me how he got his aggression from me through program Omni-10." They watched as Sid brutally killed multiple Remnant Fleet Legion-class Titans.

"I might need to tweak his copy of the AI-altering program. It... scares me."
"[I agree. I actually feel sorry for the Remnant Fleet. We brought an extremely aggressive Titan here with us, and now it's destroying them out of anger.]"
"He can't take on the entire Remnant Fleet HQ. There's too many of them."
"[Don't worry. We've got this.]"

Titanfall 2 - Monarch's Reign
ZJ-7349 approached Michael and DL-2671, Plasma Railgun at the ready. Michael disembarked from the Vanguard-class Titan and hopped into the Northstar, then flew up into the air and let loose a whole storm of rockets, devastating the Remnant Fleet.

"[We're taking back our advantage! We're definitely annihilating them!]"
"Let's take them down. All of them." Once Michael landed, a Ronin-class Titan appeared out of Phase Dash and was closing in on him with the Broadsword. Suddenly, it was blasted by a fully charged Plasma Railgun round.
Michael looked to the source of the shot, seeing an IMC Atlas-class Titan. "Jeeves!"
"[I've got your back. Behind you!]" Michael activated the VTOL Hover, going up into the air as Jeeves decimated a Legion with his Plasma Railgun. The enemy Titan opened fire, but Jeeves pulled up his amped Vortex Shield, returning each round back to the Legion immediately. With the Gun Shield down and the Legion weakened, Jeeves released an extended Rocket Salvo payload at it, destroying the enemy Titan.

The Ronin from earlier returned, with the Sword Core active, but was countered and executed with Jeeves's Plasma Railgun being shoved into the cockpit, a fully charged shot blasting a hole straight through the back to the Titan.

"[And that's another one down.]" As a Remnant Fleet Ion came out to destroy Jeeves, a stream of electrical rounds hit it in the back.

"[I don't think so.]"
"[OV, nice to see ya!]"
"[Upgrade Core: stage 3. Upgrade: XO-16 Accelerator.]" The small section of the XO-16 which fed the ammo into the weapon was altered, causing the weapon to start up slow, then steadily speed up to a higher fire rate than normal, dooming and destroying the Ion.

"[Where's Michael?]" OV-3206 asked.
"Up here!" The Atlas and Monarch looked up, seeing a descending Northstar.
"[Good to see that you're safe.]" Jeeves said.
"Jack, BT, you guys ready?" Michael asked over the comms.
"We're ready!"
"[BT-7274 good to go. It is time to complete our mission.]" From the IMS Sentinel came a Vanguard-class Titan.
"[IMC Vanguard-class Titan coming through, chassis number: BT-7274.]"
Jack made his way into the Remnant Fleet HQ, destroying multiple enemy Titans on the way.

"[Well done, Pilot. Your skills have been greatly enhanced.]"
"Well, the IMC HAS been changing."
"[As a result, it stands to reason that their Pilot training exercises have also been altered.]"
Michael then stepped in. "I helped him along, BT."
"[My previous Pilot, Tai Lastimosa, was Jack Cooper's unofficial mentor.]"
"[My previous Pilot, Dane Smithsonian, was Michael's official mentor.]" Jeeves added.
"One student becomes the other's mentor. His skills are above average for an Elite Pilot."
"[Understood.]"
"It's time we rid the Frontier of the Remnant Fleet." Jack proclaimed.
By the time the IMC had managed to destroy nearly all of the Remnant Fleet forces, Sid had returned, with the destroyed Reactor Core of one of the enemy Titans crushed in his hand. The hatch into the central building of the Remnant Fleet HQ had been sealed off, but Samus was capable of creating a hole big enough for the Morph Ball to fit through with a Super Missile. She shifted into the Morph Ball and rolled up to the hole, but was unable to get in properly. Michael disembarked and picked her up, helping her inside.
The IMC evacuated the radius, leaving behind the detonation of a Power Bomb.

"Well, that's one way to do it. No more Remnant Fleet. Didn't even think to ask for a Power Bomb. Great thinking, Samus." Michael commended.
"Well, since the Remnant Fleet's gone, I guess we could take this place for our use. Terraforming, colonization, that sort of thing." Samus suggested.
"Another colony planet? Why?"
"Why not? We should terraform it first though."

Titanfall 2 - Uphold the Mission
With the Remnant Fleet HQ emptied out, the self-destruct was engaged, removing what was left entirely. The planet was terraformed to sustain life, and the barren wasteland became a flourishing world. Any Remnant Fleet survivors were hunted down and killed off, rendering the corruption completely purged.
There was no more conflict on the Frontier, and the IMC continued to look after the lives of the civilians, day after day, maintaining order, security, and hope for the future for all the citizens of the Frontier.
Remnant Fleet: KIA. That war took a lot less time than with the Militia, just as I said.
See you next time, where a celebration is scheduled.
